Beautiful cabin

The cabin was great and the owner was very friendly. We loved the river, the fire pit, and having two living areas inside to spread out. The porch is huge with plenty of seating for everyone.

Magical Vacation

I just wanted to say how absolutely beautiful the place was — we had a wonderful time! It was truly the perfect vacation spot for our family. The lightning bugs in the afternoon were magical — we’d never seen anything like that. The afternoon walk watching the deer play was amazing.
